Every round players roll a 10 sided die and add 10 to the total. That 'round number' is the goal of each player to get as close as possible to without going over.

Players take turns playing cards from their hand on either themselves or other players. Each card as a point value and a color. Cards can only be on other players if the color of that card matches a color already on the other player's board. Some cards have effects (Baby scares an Elephant) that can remove cards from play.

Once the total number of cards that have been discarded is equal to twice the number of players, the round is over. Players get a point for each other player they beat in getting closest to the 'round number' without going over. Any player that ended the round over the 'round number' does not receive any points.

The next round begins with another dice roll and possibly a new 'round number' to shoot for. The game continues until a player reaches a predetermined number of points.
